How do we know you’re not a mega-bot that has been running an arb forum for years?

Getting into specifics here without the relevant dimensions. Private message sent.

I said a year ago we'd be arguing with AI bots in the future without even realising....I must admit I thought it would take a little longer.

@Stubby please tick the squares with indian bolswick to prove you're not a robot.

We welcome wood chips/shredding's , Small logs. No Stumps, Branches or Invasive plant material

Hi there, I’m looking for a load of woodchip to use for a garden path. The area borders raised vegetable beds, so ideally I’d prefer non-toxic, untreated woodchip — no conifers, leylandii, or anything resinous or acidic if possible. Can make a small payment rather than free, though looking to avoid commercial prices. Drop me a text if available

Rocked it today, along with Mark and Doug. Good start helped. Wordle 1,514 2/6* ⬜🟩🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

An impact wrench with 500nm of torque will stop turning a big auger long before a drill with 250nm. Impact wrenches provide jolts of peak torque to fulfil their design function of loosening or tightening a machine thread. All that happens when you stick an auger on them is that the tensile strength of the wood fibres absorbs the jolt of toque and the auger fails to advance any further. Impact drivers are use to drive screws into wood, yes, but the purpose of the jolts of torque there is to prevent cam out- where the driver bit slips in the head. Driver bits with a positive lock on the fiuxing head (such as timberlocks with their hex head) do not require an impact driver and will in fact drive far faster with the sustained torque offered by a drill. I must have explained this a dozen times over the years on here, and yet still people just can't grasp such a simple fact. A long arm brace on a quality drill allows you to impact far more torque into a wood thread or auger bit than you ever could with an impact gun.

I was more lucky, when in the market for a 50cc ish saw 15 years ago the chap persuaded me to spend the bit extra and get the 261. Still got it.

It’s a 5 day course that will teach you everything you need to know in order to pass. If you’re got previous climbing experience you will be fine.

Morning All.

Morning all . Cool start with clear sky but later ....Sun high in sky and much hot . 🙂

Good misty morning to you. Off to Berkshire. Hopefully not too toasty. Have a good one

Ouch 😁 that's me told . Sorry mate if you are a real person ( and I believe that you are now ) but we have had a lot of AI generated posts lately and it seemed like yours might be . My bad .

Well it was an exceptionally ridiculous question. If you keep running into stupid pricks on stupid forums, maybe frame your question in a more intelligent manner.

I was in the market for a 50cc ish saw, I was feeling a bit tight and got persuaded into getting a stihl 271 instead of a husky 550 (or a 261) What a POS! I kept thinking something was wrong with it. Bit the bullet in the end and got the first of my 550s Never again.
